Abstract

In an RF communication system, aspects for processing multipath clusters may comprise tracking a plurality of received clusters of signals and estimating a phase and amplitude of at least a portion of each of the plurality of received clusters of signals. Each of the plurality of received clusters of signals may be specified in time and an aggregate of received signal paths in a single cluster for a single base station may be processed. At least one cluster path processor may be assigned to process the plurality of received clusters of signals from each transmitting antenna at a single base station. At least one cluster path processor may be assigned to each of a plurality of base stations that are utilized for soft handoff.
